Abstract
This report provides a comprehensive overview of fertilizer statistics in Tanzania from 2019 to 2023. Official trade data, validated by the Fertilizer Technical Working Group (FTWG-TAN), reveals significant trends in fertilizer production, importation, exportation, and consumption. Key findings highlight a 17% increase in domestic fertilizer production, rising from 39,364 MT in 2022 to 46,098 MT in 2023. Notably, total imports surged by 26% to 789,842 MT, driven by enhanced access to subsidized fertilizers and improved farmer knowledge. The report analyzes major fertilizer categories, including NPK, Urea, and DAP, along with their sources and uses across various crops. Additionally, it discusses the regulatory landscape, emphasizing the role of the subsidy program in promoting fertilizer accessibility.
